1. Site selection

The most important thing to look for when choosing a venue for a wedding in the winter is warm and light. The room should be well heated, but it should not be too stuffy or hot, so all the guests were comfortable on wedding. It gets dark very early in winter and almost the entire festival will be held under artificial light, so it is important to pick up that option, which will create the necessary atmosphere. When choosing a chandelier, garlands and lights, talk with the photographer, the light should be sufficient to ensure that the picture quality is not affected.

Good options for not frosty winter will suburban area with a warm and cozy cottage for a banquet and an open platform for the ceremony area. Leave enough space at the entrance for guests’ mittens, shawls, soft and hot drinks, and do not delay the guest registration because they can freeze and let them fully enjoy your winter fairy tale! But the photo shoot can be made on nature: just do not neglect warm (very warm) clothing and bring your thermos with hot tea.

Dress Code and Color Palette

Christmas is near – be careful!

4. Be careful with Christmas motifs

Even if your holiday is appointed on the eve of Christmas holidays, use themed décor with caution. The temptation to turn on Christmas music, to give guests a set of Christmas decorations and decoration of the room can be large multi-colored garlands, but do not forget that it is your wedding, not the Christmas. Christmas theme may look quite organically, if you use it only in some details, and do not overdo it: for example, decorate the tables with fir branches and clusters of mountain ash, and the nursery card to replace large Christmas balls on which are written the names of the guests.

As compliments you can choose thematic seasonal gifts: balls with snow inside crocheted covers on mugs or warm mittens. You can offer your guests some classic cocktails instead of hot mulled wine or grog on the buffet table.
